@seanmpond You just argued the fedgov can’t help CO (because muh CoNsTiTuTiON), so you’re running for a fedgov political position to help Colorado? That makes zero sense.

This is the part that breaks my heart about Colorado. Most people do not even see it happening. The federal government has limits. It can only do what the Constitution allows. The State of Colorado is different. It can do anything unless the Constitution clearly says no. Anything. That means the power over your land, your water, your job, your way of life is not really in Washington. It is in Denver. And if the people in charge do not live like you, do not think like you, and do not respect your way of life, they still have the power to control it. That is exactly what is happening. Then we made it easier. Ballot measures sound like power to the people. But big money figured out a long time ago how to use that system. They do not have to live here. They do not have to understand this state. They do not care about rural Colorado. They just bring money. They flood the airwaves. They shape the message. They pass the law. And now it is forced on you. That is the system we are living under. And here is the hard truth. Washington is not coming to fix it. They cannot. This power sits at the state level. So while everyone is distracted by national politics, Colorado is being changed from the inside out, piece by piece, law by law. Until one day you wake up and realize the place you grew up in does not feel like yours anymore. That is where we are. And I am not okay with it. I am not going to lie to you and pretend a U.S. Senator can wave a hand and fix Colorado. They cannot. But they can do something just as important. They can stand on a stage big enough that people actually hear the truth. They can call it out. They can fight federal overreach so it does not make things worse. And they can wake people up to what is really happening at the state level. That is why I stepped into this. Because I watched it happening in real time. I watched decisions get made that hurt people I know. I watched voices get ignored. I watched outside influence take over a state I love. And I realized something. If you do not have a platform, people do not hear you. So I stepped onto one. Not for a title. Not for politics. Because someone has to say this out loud before it is too late.

@Brady_H I was VERY skeptical (I hate skyline chili)…but this is actually pretty good. The oyster crackers actually provide a nice balance to the sweetness…not savory at all too

@surrender_Drthy @ryenarussillo I always wonder if coaches should be challenging the first Blanton’s one they see to get the refs in the mindset to look out for it. I’d use every challenge I have on it.

This is the #1 problem with the way the game is called now. SGA can use his arms to push the defender away, but as the defender tries to recover and reaches, he’s called for the foul. It’s a foul on SGA first but it’s (almost) never called vs. FTs on marginal contact.

@GatorTails @vpchavez10 @wendymacchavez did some more digging as baseball season is here and the 9x9x9 is 9 mini hot dogs and 9 small glasses with one tall boy. As you can see, the tall boy doesn't full up all 9 glasses. Also, I'm hearing it costs around $55
SFGATE@SFGate

Purchasing the San Francisco Giants' 9-9-9 challenge box gets you nine mini dogs, nine glasses (an estimated 3-4 ounces) and a tall can of Coors Light. But the beer is not enough to fill every glass up to the level that anyone would consider a regular pour.

A few nutrition changes/experiments I’m running lately: • Eat 3/4 of the day’s calories before dinner Target right now is 3,500–3,800/day, so ~2,400–2,800 pre-dinner. Places more calories around am workout and doesn’t leave me “compensating” at night or going to bed too full. • Swap some protein for carbs Naturally I’ll eat way more than 1g/lb body weight, so I’m trying to cut protein intake by 40–70 grams per day by replacing a serving of meat/eggs at a meal with a carb/starch (I’ll still eat >1 g/lb with this approach).

@markallanbovair The hard part is if your kid is really interested in a sport. I’ve got kids nearing 10 and a real split starts to happen with rec and competitive. If the kids loves to play, then better competition generally is more fun for them. Plus their friends all start to move up too

Most parents pay for travel volleyball / baseball chasing scholarships when: 1) They’ll spend way more than the value of any scholarship and 2) their daughter/son has a 10x better chance of a scholarship by running track or cross country, which are basically free.
Clay Travis@ClayTravis

If you’re a parent and you think — spending on kids sports is out of control — you’re not wrong. Look at spending on youth sports since 2019. Graphic via @wsj.

@RodeoProfessor My kids love riding the shuttles. We did Zion and Bryce this past summer and riding the shuttle was part of the fun.

I strongly encourage you, if you’ve never been to Yellowstone, not to let these doomer posts bum you out. You can go to Yellowstone at peak and not experience any of this, you come in via the Cooke City NE entrance early morning, watch thousands of animals (wolves, elk, prongs) in the Lamar Valley, which is your heritage as an American, see the park, and not see any of this clusterf*ck. Sometimes you have a bad visit and you hit a jam, have some snacks and huckleberry beers in the car, so what, it’s worth it. Don’t skip it because you see the worst aspects of a visit posted online. Now, with that out of the way, the thing about the National Park crowding in America is you basically have 4 options, and 0 of these 4 are things that people want or like. I’m going to put a poll in the replies and maybe you vote on the one you like for me? First is you have “ticketed timed entry,” so if you don’t book on Rec dot Gov 6 months out, sorry but you’re probably not getting in during peak season. This is in place at high demand parks like Arches or Going to the Sun Road in Glacier. These work well for people who can plan their lives 6 months + in advance, but you lose the spontaneous American summer road trip which is a big part of the culture. Also, gate employees are suffering from unprecedented harassment and turnover from people who pull up to get in, have no idea they need a booking, and go ham on the 20 year old GS5. Option two is some form of dynamic pricing, lots of economists put ideas out like this but the social justice equity people wail about it, and I get that, you want Americans to access public land regardless of how much they make. This is probably my preferred option though, if you want to go during peak, be prepared to pay. People aren’t ready for a mid June $500-1000 YNP entry fee though, so it’s probably not really feasible. I also don’t think that’s the purpose of entry fees per the statutes that authorize our National Parks so it would be tricky. Third option is what we have today, everyone can enter but some lots (Norris, Grand Prismatic) are going to be a massive thorn in the side. The roads and lots were all designed for demand 50-100 years ago. There’s always parking over by old faithful, and a nice bar in the Old Faithful Inn. There’s always somewhere neat to see that’s not doomered out. Fourth option is you’re required to leave your car and take the shuttle around. This is in place in Zion and some parts of Rocky Mountain up near Bear Lake. Americans (including myself) like our cars and don’t necessarily want to want 30 min for a shuttle after a 10 mile hike with a bunch of kids, but this is probably the future of Yellowstone. Vote your preference in the reply for me if you want to.
MRS. MASSACRE@MrsMassacre

Is this what you thought Yellowstone Park was like? Unmoving traffic jams lasting 1-3 hours; rivaling that of suburban areas in big cities. Nowhere to park. Insane prices. Tourists harassing animals, littering, picking flowers, influencers everywhere, sticking their hands in basins and ruining them, no good camping spots left because people use AI programs to snatch up the good ones within milliseconds of the site opening up, and most of your day spent behind Asian tourist busses. The overwhelming amount of tourists have made the park experience unbearable. You used to be able to go there and explore nature peacefully. Now it's worse than Disneyland.

@EdLatimore I wonder if it’s confounding because the younger you are, the more likely you aren’t married, so your answer is uninformed of real marriage. Would like to see how millenials or boomers rated this question when they were 20.
